4 because s,p, d, and f are all in the 4th shell as subshells
The fourth shell has 4 subshells, which are labeled s, p, d, and f. The s subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, the d subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, and the f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.

In a Bohr diagram, the first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth shell can hold up to 32 electrons.
The sixth orbit shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. This shell can be broken down into subshells which include s, p, d, and f orbitals. Each of these subshells can hold a specific number of electrons based on their orbital shape and orientation.
M shell notation: N = 3 contains 3 sub shells s,p and d (3s,3p and 3d) *according to my chemistry book.
n=1, 1 subshelln=2, 4 subshellsn=3, 9 subshellsn=4, 16 subshellsSo, you see the trend is n^2 subshells
There are four orbitals of the f subshell. The name of the four f subshells include 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f. The historical name of the f subshells is called "fundamental subshells".

Subshell or Subshells
In a Bohr diagram, the first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth shell can hold up to 32 electrons.
The sixth orbit shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. This shell can be broken down into subshells which include s, p, d, and f orbitals. Each of these subshells can hold a specific number of electrons based on their orbital shape and orientation.
If your are talking about s shell search then # of subshells equals n-1. So if n=3 the number of subshells is two. If your are talking about periodic chemistry the number of subshells for n=3 is six. If your are talking about the Weriner progression then ss= n!/(n-3)!
M shell notation: N = 3 contains 3 sub shells s,p and d (3s,3p and 3d) *according to my chemistry book.

There are four orbitals of the f subshell. The name of the four f subshells include 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f. The historical name of the f subshells is called "fundamental subshells".
The number of electrons in the lowest electron shellis2 in the first or K shell (subshell 1s)---For other shells, the maximum is determined by the formula 2n2:2) 8 in the L shell (subshells 2s, 2p)3) 18 in the M shell (subshells 3s, 3p, 3d)4) 32 in the N shell (subshells 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f)5) 50 in the O shell (subshells 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 5g*)6) 72 in the P shell (subshells 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f, 6g, and an unnamed subshell)7) 98 in the Q shell (subshells 7s, 7p, 7d, 7f, 7g, and two unnamed subshells)* the highest existing subshells are 5f, 6d, and 7s* the highest currently predicted subshells are 7p and 8s* no existing element has more than 32 electrons in any shellThe maximum per subshell is determined by the formula 2(2L+1) (s is 0):s subshells can have 2 electronsp subshells can have 6 electronsd subshells can have 10 electronsf subshells can have 14 electronsg subshells can have 18 electrons*There are no elements with electrons past the f subshell, so the shells with 22 and 26 electrons have no name. The largest element created (Roentgenium, element 111) has 2 electrons in the 7s shell.
A subshell is a subdivision of electron shells.
Subshells are the different energy levels within an electron shell (designated by the letters s, p, d, f, etc.). The 's' subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and is spherical in shape. Within each energy level, there can be one or more subshells, with the 's' subshell being the most basic and lowest in energy.
The fourth electron shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. It consists of four subshells: s, p, d, and f orbitals, with increasing energy levels. Each subshell has a specific number of electron slots, determining the total capacity of the fourth shell.
